How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- outlining the prima facie case under the Michigan WPA, the third of which requires a plaintiff to show that “a causal connection exists between the protected activity and the discharge”
- rejecting a narrow interpretation of the statutory phrase “[a]cts and ordinances” as “only laws made by a legislative body” because the “only quality that those words surely have in common is a legally binding effect prescribed by a governmental authority”
- “The WPA [Whistleblower Protection Act], as a remedial statute, is to be liberally construed to favor the persons the Legislature intended to benefit.”
